    I’m looking at a computer, and I have no clue who any of you are. There’s nothing inherently social about anonymous message boards no matter what the revisionist clowns say.

      It is a social network. Just because you don’t know someone personally doesn’t mean you aren’t interacting with them socially. Asking someone for directions to somewhere is socializing - you won’t meet the other person ever, but you made a connection, talked to someone. In extension, people who post more in certain communities will be recognized by many people visiting those communities. It doesn’t matter who is behind the nickname - you are talking to them, a living human being.
